The car needed quite some repairs. It had been giving different signs. I requested the mechanic to send the amount needed to fix the car. When I got the price, I was just laughing. The devil wanted to suggest ingratitude to me. I smiled again and began to make a mental list of the things that I was grateful for. […]

STAGES IN A FALL- THE UNQUANTIFIABLE LOSS

I was eating in the canteen in my faculty many years ago. One of my colleagues who had issues with me walked in and made a very strong statement. He said, “See this class pastor who has skeletons in his cupboard”. I smiled but did not allow the matter to rest without confrontation. I responded and said, “Please, right here […]

STAGES BEFORE A FALL- THE EXCHANGE PHASE

As you walk into my office, right behind my desk, there is a quote from the book, “Finishing Strong” hanging right on the wall. Written on it are these words, “Hold fast to Jesus.

STAGES BEFORE A FALL- SHOWING INTENT

Many years ago, just after I encountered Christ, an older brother mentioned that he was coming to our house, and he met a young lady on the way. When he asked her why she was not going to our place, she responded, “There is no one around”. He then mentioned that I was back from school. She told him, “It […]

A dear father in the faith who happened to be a widower was being chased actively by a female friend. One day, amid rising pressure, he walked to his brother in the faith and said, “I am going to so and so person’s house to commit adultery.” The brother and himself laughed.
